As I am not sure of the source of my problem I have posted this under DVD Shrink and Nero problems, apologies. Okay, this is a very long shot but here goes. I copy dvd's using DVD shrink and Nero. Once encoded with Shrink I stop the process, defragment the drive and copy to a DVD (Verbatim Datalife plus DVD-R 8x). I write at 4X speed. I then play these on my Philips LX3000D DVD player. Usually no problem but ocassionally I get one that will freeze for a few seconds judder forwards, stick and carry on. Okay, so not a big problem more of an irritation, it always happens near the beginning and can be solved by pressing Stop / Resume on the DVD control and usually happens 3 times (I am not sure but I estimate it may be at the same time point each time). Any thoughts at all ??? This forum solved my last problem in an instant but this might be a tricky one especially as the fault may lie with the player, disc etc. Just one more thing - if the disc is marked DVD-R 8x, can I write at 4x? or should I only write at 8x. Thanks in advance all.
do you have the nero log? You should be burning at 4x as you have proved that with 8x you get the judders, try 4x and see if that improves.
Poor media can cause that also. If you post a log, ppl can look thru it and point out problems and fixes. [bold]Nero 6 history log location: Program Files>Ahead>Nero>NeroHistory.txt Nero 7 history log location: Program Files>Nero>Nero 7>Core>NeroHistory.txt [/bold] These things record all burns, and we only need the last one. The burns are seperated by something like this that was from a Nero 6 log, but 7 looks much like that. Underneath the divider is the operating system, and right below that is the begining of the serial number. When posting a log, just include the last burn log, and edit out your serial numbers by typing xxxx over them. And 8x media means it can be burned from 1x-8x. But as andmerr pointed out, you are having problems so thats a good indicator you need to burn at 4x and check your media. I only use Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden discs. Anything less is suspect media to me.
